    editing Editing And Color Calibration ?

    I tried it on 4 different DVD players, including a PS3, 360, Sony, and some generic one. The console DVD players where the worse, I did some researched and found some articles stating that both consoles suck in the DVD department. But the generic players where still brighter then I saw on my TV...

    editing Editing And Color Calibration ?

    That's a problem in it's self. I cant afford a colorist. I'm asking this as a independent filmmaker who made this films with little to no budgets, and uses what was either given to him during school or found other means of getting money. And to be honest, the only reason this problem came up...

    editing Editing And Color Calibration ?

    I got another question then, towards more of my particular problem. The color-grading for this film is fairly simple, I'm lowering the brightness of the film, cause the tone should be dark and the scene takes place at night. Now when I get the brightness to where I want to, and it looks great on...

    editing Editing And Color Calibration ?

    Ha, HA, yes he did lol. Wish I could do the same but I'm just going to have to accept that what ever I do, won't always look good. So then I have other question , if I honestly don't want to make several different color-grades and corrections for every possible thing, what would be the best...

    editing Editing And Color Calibration ?

    This honestly make sense, it's just a pet peeve for me. I guess I'm sort of a perfectionist and I want the best quality for everything (Tv, Computer, Theater). I calibrate my monitor with color bars by eye, I'm sure it's not perfectly calibrated but pretty close. Now based on your rely...

    editing Editing And Color Calibration ?

    I've been trying to figure this out for the past few days and this is the first time I've encounter this problem. I use a Mac-Book Pro to edit my films, and I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 as my editing program of choice. Now my problem has to do with color calibration. I know you can't honestly...

    editing Digital Cinema Standard Codec and Compression ?

    Standard Codec and Compression ? I've had this question for sometime but I've never gotten a answer. I've Googled it and nothing ever really comes up. So for all the editors on this forum, what is or what do you think is the standard for exporting (Codec & Container) a film for a digital...

    It was very helpful, and I agree completely with what you said. I would even say, we indie filmmakers are scared to do sound design because we either don't have an expert on hand or don't have anyone who can do it, in a general sense. So we would rather avoid it, instead of trying to do it on...

    Adding To The Topic: What Defines a Director I don't mind the debate between "AudioPostExpert" and "jax_rox", as long as we all keep it civil, plus I respect them as well and there opinions. Don't want another altercation. But please don't forget about also to check out my Demo Reel or any of...

    Thanks, glad you liked it. The thing with music is, the composer does full on tracks, I forgot what kind of composer there are technically called. I would have to find a completely new track or find someone to score the film directly. The letter isn't crucial to the story, since it's more...

    Sweet, it's called "A Real Hero" and its still a thriller but it has point to it. Also pay especially mind to the letter that the heroin picks up in his car. I think you will like it. Here is the link: https://vimeo.com/42908830 and I will send you the password in a PM. Just comment on it in...

    Great, I'll take that into mind. If you would like, I have another short film that is finished, not as much fantasy or horror but I'm sending it off to a few film festivals but I wouldn't mind you watching it and giving me a critique on it either.

    Wow, thanks... Glad you liked it, it means a lot. Since the film is around 3 minutes, what scene would you pick to have in my demo reel. The clip would have to be at least 30seconds, I wouldn't want it to be more then that, seeing that its a really short film and I think it would be enough...

    Ha, ha, Since I decided that I wasn't going to really push it or put it into festivals, I wouldn't do a original score like I did all my other films. And I won't lie, as I was editing, I kept on hearing sunshine (adagio in d minor) in my head lol. So I used the track :) I really appreciate...

    Well then I guess I'm odd lol. I'm just very hands on in everything I do. I strive to be as good as the best. I read and watch behind the scenes of people I respect and learn about what they do on there productions and try to do the same but make it my own at the same time. I also want to take...

    And just to answer this question, It's very common for thugs to wear bandanas as they rob stores or cars, stuff like that. I was trying to keep with the theme or if you want to call it, a stereotype. Basically a thug trying to rob a car and then the car kicks his ass :)
